Watsonia Fish & Chips

Can't believe this fish and chip shop is still here. I used to come down down here when I was a kid in the 80s to get 20c worth of chips lol
The counter used to be at the back of the shop. Now I see it's on the side and the min chips is 1750% more expensive. They were good chips back then. I'll have to come back and try them some time

Food is average. There are strong smell of oil in the food. It is smell of the oil that being reused too many times.

Sadly I can't rate it a 0 because this place almosted killed me, the fish was old this place used to be great but a long time ago it changed owners (witch gave me food poisoning and had to go to the hospital) and from then have not gone back. Went back and told them and all they did was gave me my $30 back did not care at all.
Don't go here.

Thankyou so much for the food. BEST FOOD EVA! The employees were very kind, but the boy on the phone was absolutely lovely and sounded like he had very beautfiul male features. His name was benjamin. He is a great hard worker and very attractive and i will be coming back because of him.

Where do I begin?
After reading such positive reviews online my partner and I went to this fish and chip shop thinking we would have yet another great experience like all those who have claimed to before us. Firstly, they mucked up our order, we ordered battered Calamari, and when they tried to give us our food they told us that we asked for crumbed, and spoke down to my partner when she told the worker that she certainly ordered battered. And therefore they reluctantly made us battered, however as their way to show us how unhappy they were that they messed up, which does happen time to time, they then removed my partners Grilled Flake from the order, made us pay for it and leave the store without the flake in the packaging, when they had assured us that it was in there. To which we called the store and they basically admitted to it, and then hung the phone up on my partner.
I dont think they're bad people, however they are clearly bitter people, and bitter by their own doing, so it unfortunate. And all this leads me to believe that their online reviews have clearly had some "in-house" tweaking to appear higher in quality.
All in all, apart from the complete lack of customer service, the food was just your average Fish and Chips, and certainly not worthy of a 4.9Star rating. I hope for their sake they can improve on their service, because they might have a chance of being a good place to go if they become Humanly Approachable.

Estonia's original fish and chips shop which has gone from strength to strength over the years.
Generous sized fish pieces and a very varied menu.
Pricing is modest.

Went here for chips and fish and it was tasty. Great customer service, especially the employee named Cooper. He is very kind and welcoming.

I'm deaf. This shop is my best place. I find this best favourite taste and size of P. Cake.
I love it.

I came in and i was blessed by the food although on this particular time i locked eyes with the most gorgeous worker his stunning long pony tail made me stare i forgot i even order food i was so distracted by that gorgeous man of my dreams.he was so beautiful I had not seen anything like this.thank you for hiring Maxim Haskell. I just wanted to kiss his lips. I will be back. Regard - Tarrent Bell, Jake Williams, Sebastian Chesser, Sharome Wilson, Gayan Matiu and Mr Emil N

Great fish and chip shop, have been going there for awhile, won’t go anywhere else, the hamburgers are the best and the staff very friendly

We've been there many times, i and my family love the food there. I am a fish eater, i can tell they use the best quality local fish. People there are very nice and friendly, this shop is always busy in the evenings, sometimes waiting a bit long, but i'd rather waiting for their good food.recommend

Greasy, lack of communication, why do new people change a shop that gave good takeaway. Food VERY greasy and placed in brown bags, not even wrapped in paper. Why do people change a shop that was successful. I will never go back, very disappointed.

I find the owner quite rude when you say hello he doesn't even acknowledge you ever time I've asked for the chip to be well done they are barely cooked. I wont be going back there.

Again, my friend ordered chips, flake and a hamburger, very fresh tasty fish, food very nice.enjoyed the food and service.

The fish is fresh and delicious, the potato cakes are yummy, all in all good food and friendly staff.

Definitely below average experience. Food is fine but most the workers could definitely be a little more friendly. Kind of hard to talk to and pushy. I got told "GO TO ATM! ", "WAIT OUTSIDE! " "GRAB DRINK! " "Card no good! " I was told "That is your problem" after trying to explain I did not want to use the ATM to get cash out but simply had to go online to activate my replacement card which was a quick thing but I was unaware of because it had worked earlier that day at other outlets. As it was my first time visiting because I am new to the area I definitely felt very unwelcomed and rather belittled. This may be a cultural difference in taking a lot of arrogant authoratative pride in their work but I much prefer a place with real customer service. The polite young girl on the phone was very kind though, but I feel sorry for her as her voice broke while saying bye to me, as I assume she is uncomfortable working there and no wonder. I will definitely be opting for the other "Seafood Bar" fish n' chips shop just a small walk away. I also disagree with the review from Christine Hills here stating that is totally OK to shout and go over the top at a carer and an autistic man. What is wrong with you that would make you enable that sort of abuse? Have you never seen people opening up a drink in Woolies before paying for it? Firstly, in the the case of criminal law it is not illegal. Secondly, here is a good scenario to consider, if it is someone who is feeling their blood sugars drop and they need a fruit juice before finishing their shopping, what is it to you to attack the customer? It is more of a cost to yourself and them. Please do not condone aggressive behaviour and mistreatment of carers and on disabled individuals, Christine. "What is wrong with the world" you ask? People enabling this sort of thing.

Good place to avoid work in, they got heaps of things here. If only one had lots of cash
Every visit reveals more new products. All enquiries are expertly answered. Have purchased many things here over the years.

Consistently great fish and chips. Very friendly service and easy to order with. Open on Monday's which is a bonus!

First visit tonight, new to the area, busy shop which is a good sign. Chips were OK, snapper was good, barramundi was a bit small, everything else was good. The burgers they were making for other customers smelled amazing so I will be going back to try them

I have been coming to this shop for many, many years and I've seen quite a few changes in ownership; all of which have been great. The shop is clean and tidy, the quality of the food is excellent, and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Which brings me to my next point ie.the bad review Dave Bishop gave. Dave, these people are trying to make a living. They work extremely hard. The issue of the autistic man coming in and swiping 2 bottles of Coke without paying is the responsibility of the Carer to sort out, not the staff. If there is no money to pay for the items, they shouldn't have been picked up in the first place. It's that simple. I work with disabled people and do not condone the actions of this Carer. She should have been overseeing her client every step of the way and stopped him from even going into the shop. Why blame the staff? Going with your line of thought, it's ok to take items you want and say, "I'll pay later if that's ok with you". Sheesh! What is wrong with this world?
